what is white coller crime? and how is it committed?

Answer 1

Within the field of criminology, white-collar crime has been defined by Edwin Sutherland "...as a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." Sutherland was a proponent of Symbolic Interactionism which examines the construction of personal identity through individual and group interactions. In defining the Differential Association Theory, he believed that criminal behaviour was learned from interpersonal interaction with others. White-collar crime therefore overlaps with corporate crime because the opportunity for fraud, bribery, insider trading, embezzlement, computer crime, and forgery is more available to white-collar employees.

Answer 5

white collar crime
n. a generic term for crimes involving commercial fraud, cheating consumers, swindles, insider trading on the stock market, embezzlement and other forms of dishonest business schemes. The term comes from the out-of-date assumption that business executives wear white shirts with ties. It also theoretically distinguishes these crimes and criminals from physical crimes, supposedly likely to be committed by "blue collar" workers.

Answer 6

White collar crime is non-violent crime that deals with obtaining money illegally, like through insider trading (stock fraud) or overbilling (see, e.g., Halliburton), to name a few. It is called "white collar crime" because these criminals usually wear a suit and tie and perhaps a white shirt.

Answer 7

A white collar crime is a crime where you don't necessarily physically do something. The best one that comes to mind is accounting fraud.

Answer 9

c'mon watch 'the godfather.'

in it there is a scene where don corleone tells his oldest son that you can steal more money with a briefcase than anything else.

while simple, it's as accurate a description of white collar crime as you are likely to get.

blue and white collar refer to the supposed color of the collar of the guys who commit the crime.

people who work in factories or as mechanics, plumbers electricians or contractors are thought of as blue collar because at one point many of them actually wore blue shirts - though that is hardly the case any longer.

white collar refers to guys who wear white shirts and ties to work, though again, it is hardly the case any longer.

my guess is that these terms can trace their roots to the early 20th century in america, where things were a bit more uniform than they are now.

hope this helps...
